"Well Percy is standing up to his entire family, whom he loves very much.
That takes courage.  He is being a total idiot - but it isn't the easy road.
The easy road would be to drift off and make excuses for never seeing them;
to throw his jumper in the rubbish bin quietly.

Does he have the courage to admit that he was wrong?  Roll on Book 6!"

I have been thinking about this for days.  Percy is a puffed up, pride-filled peacock and very ambitious in the books.  He threw a hissy fit when his father claimed Fudge had only given Percy the job in his office to spy on the Weasley family and DD.  He said he would tell everyone at the ministry that he was no longer associated with the family. Percy slammed the door in his mother's face when she came to see him in London.  He walked past Harry and Arthur in the MoM with his nose in the air.  He sent back his Christmas gift with no note.  He sent a letter to Ron telling him to steer clear of Harry and that Harry is unbalanced and possibly dangerous. He never visited his injured father, who at one time it was thought he might die from those injuries, while he was in St. Mungo's.  (Is that all of it, I don't remember.)

I live with the person who JKR could have used as a model for Percy.  My 'Percy' would NEVER go back to the family after making such an idiot of himself.  He has too much to apologise for and simply would not lower himself to say 'know what folks, I was wrong."  No courage.

I have an inkling (which I hope is wrong) that we are going to see Percy in a position like Ludo Bagman's...thinking he's passing information to 'our' side, but really passing info to one of LV's spies within the mnistry.  Leading possibly to a death in the Weasley family.  When Harry saw Mrs. Weasley facing the Boggart, the only two people we don't see *dead* are Charlie and Ginny.

Cathy - who does have random thoughts when she's not in the shower.
